I rarely write anything tech related here. I found something today that I’ve been trying to find for a while: a reliable means of syncing my windows mobile smartphone’s calendar with google calendar. In this case, that’s a samsung Blackjack II. I’ve tried several different on the phone apps, but haven’t been satisfied with any of them. Some of them have been spotty from the get go. Others have worked well for a while then lost their ability to sync with google’s calendar. Nuevasync (www.nuevasync.com) is a web based service that uses the same protocol that’s already on your phone for syncing with an Exchange server to sync with google. I’m only using it for the calendar, but it looks like they support mail as well.

I was actually searching for a solution for the iPhone when I found this. I bought my wife an iPhone 3g as a slightly early Christmas present. I’ve been so impressed with it that I’ll probably buy myself one sometime in 2009. This solution may turn out to be moot. I just changed jobs* and may again work for a company that will let me push my corporate email and calendar to the phone. I’ll find out in a couple of weeks. But even if it ends up being moot for me, maybe someone else who has had the same problem will find this post.

*My recent job search has been the reason this space has been pretty silent in the last few weeks.
